Hi,
smartmontools is currently at version 5.36. I have been using 5.37
for a while without problems, and the maintainer (CCed) also sent me
an update request a month ago.
At first I declined to do the update because 5.37 is an unstable
release. But as it has been out for a while and 5.38 is still not
here, I'd like to do the update anyway. The reason is that 5.36 does
not work with the hard disk on my Mac, and most likely it does not
work with most newer hardware. The changes list is:
14 - Many additions to the table of known drives
15 - SAT (SCSI/ATA Translation) support
16 - SCSI background scan results log
17 - smartd -W directive for temperature tracking and warning
18 - smartctl -n option to check power state
19 - improved smartd power state logging
20 - CCISS support under Linux
21 - HighPoint RocketRAID support under Linux
22 - 3ware RAID support under Windows
23 - SPT interface for SCSI devices under Windows
24 - ATA selective self test under Windows XP/2003
25 - NSIS installer support for Windows version
26 - Started move from C to C++
27 - Various other improvements
Any objections to commit the update?
Thanks,
--
